New drug aims to shrink rare adrenal tumors

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. As no dosing or adverse event data are currently available in participants \< 18 years of age, children and adolescents are excluded from this study. * Documentation of Disease * Histologic Documentation: Histologically-proven advanced (metastatic or unresectable primary) pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. * Stage: Advanced (metastatic or unresectable primary) disease * Tumor Site: Histologically-proven pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma * Radiographic Evaluation: Radiographic evidence of disease progression by RECIST v1.1 criteria in the 12 months prior to registration. * Measurable disease * Lesions must be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 1 cm with CT or MRI (or ≥ 1.5 cm for lymph nodes). Non-measurable disease includes disease smaller than these dimensions or lesions considered truly non-measurable including: leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural or pericardial effusion, lymphangitic involvement of skin or lung. * Prior Treatment * Prior treatment with other somatostatin analog, chemotherapy, radiotherapy (including peptide radionuclide receptor therapy \[PRRT\]), or surgery is permitted. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2. * Organ and marrow function and laboratory values as follows within 4 days prior to the first dose of zanzalintinib: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3without colony stimulating factor support * Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL * Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 the upper limit of normal (ULN). For subjects with known Gilbert's disease, bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL * Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dl * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50 mL/min. For creatinine clearance estimation, the Cockcroft and Gault equation should be used: Male: CrCl (mL/min) = (140 - age) × wt (kg) / (serum creatinine × 72) Female: Multiply above result by 0.85 * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 ULN * Lipase \< 2.0 x the upper limit of normal and no radiologic or clinical evidence of pancreatitis * Urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1 * Serum phosphorus, calcium, potassium ≥ LLN and magnesium ≥ 1.2 mg/dL * Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and has signed the informed consent document. * Sexually active patients (men and women) must agree to use medically accepted barrier methods of contraception (eg, male or female condom) during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study drug(s), even if oral contraceptives are also used. All subjects of reproductive potential must agree to use both a barrier method and a second method of birth control during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study drug(s). * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening. Women of childbearing potential include women who have experienced menarche and who have not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or are not postmenopausal. Post-menopause is defined as amenorrhea ≥ 12 consecutive months. Note: women who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to prior chemotherapy, antiestrogens, ovarian suppression or any other reversible reason. Exclusion Criteria: * Received cytotoxic chemotherapy (including investigational cytotoxic chemotherapy) or biologic agents (eg, cytokines or antibodies) within 3 weeks, or nitrosoureas/ mitomycin C within 6 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. * Prior treatment with zanzalintinib * Radiation therapy for bone metastasis within 2 weeks, any other external radiation therapy within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy are not eligible. * Received radionuclide treatment (i.e. I 131 meta-iodo- benzyl guanidine) within 6 months of the first dose of study treatment * Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within 14 days before the first dose of study treatment. * Receipt of any other type of investigational agent within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment. * The subject has not recovered to baseline or CTCAE ≤ Grade 1 from toxicity due to all prior therapies except alopecia, fatigue, and other non-clinically significant AEs. * Prothrombin time (PT)/ International Normalized Ratio (INR) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test ≥ 1.3 the laboratory ULN within 7 days before the first dose of study treatment. * The subject requires concomitant treatment, in therapeutic doses, with anticoagulants such as warfarin or warfarin-related agents, heparin, thrombin, or antiplatelet agents (eg, clopidogrel).

Inclusion of Women and Minorities Both men and women of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial. NIH policy requires that women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations be included in all NIH-supported biomedical and behavioral research projects involving NIH-defined clinical research unless a clear and compelling rationale and justification establishes to the satisfaction of the funding Institute \& Center (IC) Director that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects or the purpose of the research. Exclusion under other circumstances designated by the Director, NIH, upon the recommendation of an IC Director based on a compelling rationale and justification. Cost is not an acceptable reason for exclusion except when the study would duplicate data from other sources. Women of childbearing potential should not be routinely excluded from participation in clinical research. Please see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.pdf.
